Julen Lopetegui experienced Molineux for the first time on Saturday.
The 56-year-old was in attendance for Wolves game against Arsenal, and was unveiled to supporters before kick-off.
Lopetegui did a lap of the pitch and got a thunderous reception, and then took up a seat in the stands to get a first look at his players in a game in the flesh.
It was a good first-half performance from Wolves, whose shape restricted Arsenal and also allowed for some dangerous counters.
But Martin Odegaard struck twice for the Gunners in the second-half, with Arsenal seeing the game out 2-0.
It was always going to be tough to get something against the most in-form side in the Premier League. But there were some encouraging moments.
Ultimately, Wolves were again just lacking that cutting edge in the final third.
One man who had a couple of chances was Goncalo Guedes, who was operating up top in a pairing with Adama Traore.
At one point Guedes was played in but blazed his effort just over the bar with a first-time strike.
According to The Athletic, that caused Lopetegui to throw head his head back in frustration.
Guedes then had another chance later in the half. He latched onto a back pass from William Saliba, but fired wide. The attempt got a deflection on it. The Athletic report his ‘hands were thrown up in annoyance before, a split second later, he pointed a finger to claim a corner’.
Lopetegui’s passion will quickly endear him to the Wolves fans
Lopetegui was very invested on Saturday, and it’s clear he is a passionate individual.
That is likely going to be something that will go down well with Wolves fans.
Wanderers fans want to see a bit of emotion, and to feed off something. Especially given the alarming predicament right now.
There’s also a good chance that the players will react well to Lopetegui’s engaging style.
It will be very interesting to see what kind of effect he will have on Guedes.
Guedes has had an underwhelming start to life at Molineux so far. But Lopetegui has seen him several times in La Liga, and might be the man to get the best out of him.
